Kujutage ette uut nutikat parkimislahendust, mis võimaldab teil parkida oma sõidukit mobiilirakenduse abil. Selline rakendus võimaldab teil parkida parklatesse, mis kuuluvad ükskõik millisele ettevõttele riigis. Samas rakenduses saate teatada ka teiste sõidukite ebaseaduslikust parkimisest ning vaadata üle oma parkimispiletid ja trahvid valesti parkimise eest. Sinu kui lõppkasutaja jaoks näeb rakendus välja nagu üks süsteem. Sellegipoolest koosneb see mitmest parklaomaniku, rakenduse arendusettevõtte ja kohaliku parkimiskorraldaja hallatavast süsteemist. Kuna igal ettevõttel on juba enda arendatud süsteemid olemas, kasutavad nad neid ja lepivad kokku ainult nende integreerimises. Kuigi eeldatakse, et iga eraldi ehitatud süsteem on turvline ja kaitseb andmeid, muudab iga eraldiseisva süsteemi integreeriminesüsteemi keerulisemaks ja uutele turvaohtudele ja andmeleketele vastuvõtlikumaks.
Senised traditsioonilised turvameetmed koostati teistsuguste olukordade jaoks, mistõttu on vaja rohkem panusada, et kaitsta arendatavaid nutisüsteeme. Me pakume selle lünga täitmiseks välja infoturbe ja privaatsuse haldamise meetodi nutilahendustes. See meetod peaks aitama ettevõtteid, kes soovivad pakkuda oma infosüsteemi uue nutika lahenduse komponendina. Seega peaks meetod tagama, et vastloodud nutika lahenduse süsteem kaitseb nii kasutajate kui ka ettevõtete tundlikke andmeid.
Kavandatav meetod aitab ettevõtteid kolmes etapis. Esiteks aitab see määratleda, kuidas ettevõtted oma süsteemis teavet kaitsevad ja kas nutilahenduse integratsioon võib olla vastuolus olemasolevate eeldustega. Teiseks näitame, kuidas ettevõtted saavad kasutada olemasolevaid tööriistu, et kontrollida, kas nende süsteemid ikka vastavad integratsiooni puhul kohalikele privaatsusregulatisoonide nõuetele. Kolmandaks pakume välja kaks identiteedihaldussüsteemi kavandit, mis võimaldavad mittetraditsioonilistel usalduslikel eeldustel kaitsta vahetatud andmeid partneritega.
Imagine a new smart parking solution that allows you to park your vehicle using a mobile app. Such an app will enable you to park in lots owned by any company in the country. In the same app, you can also report illegal parking of others' vehicles and review your parking tickets and fines for wrong parking. For you as an end user, the app looks like a single system. Yet, it comprises multiple systems managed by parking lot owners, the app development company, and the local parking enforcement agency. As each of these companies already has its built systems, they only agree on the integration to allow you to use a smart parking solution. Even though each separately built system is expected to be secure and protect data, the integration into a new complex system makes each separate one prone to new security threats and data leakages. Traditional information security approaches struggle to support securing collaborative environments, such as those found in smart solutions, so more is needed to protect evolving intelligent solution systems. We propose a method for information security and privacy management in smart solutions to bridge this gap. This method should help organisations which want to provide their information systems as components for a new smart solution. This method should ensure that the newly established smart solution protects both users' and the companies' sensitive data. The proposed method should help companies in the three stages. First, it helps define how companies protect information in their system and how integration into a smart solution may contradict the used assumptions. Second, we show how companies can utilise existing open-source tools to check that their systems comply with local privacy laws in the case of integration. Third, we propose two identity management system designs which allow non-traditional trust assumptions to protect the exchanged data with partners.
